Abstract

This report was prepared by the Center for Human Services Research (CHSR) of the University at Albany as part of an evaluation of New York State Family Resource Centers (FRC) supported by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (NYSOCFS). Beginning in the summer of 2001, NYSOCFS established a contractual agreement with CHSR to develop and manage a database for the NYSOCFS Family Resource Center network and to assist with its evaluation plans. Since that time, CHSR has conducted a number of activities including modifying and enhancing the database, conducting annual participant telephone surveys, interviewing FRC staff, developing a NYS FRC logic model and convening participant focus groups

This report synthesizes the wealth of data that has been compiled on NYS’ FRCs. It describes FRC participants and activities, analyzes related programs and trends in other parts of the country, and offers recommendations for future practice.
